Chemical toilet
A chemical toilet is a toilet using chemicals to disinfect the waste instead of simply storing it in a hole, or piping it away to a sewage treatment plant. These toilets are most commonly found on airplanes and trains.
Disinfection is generally carried out by mixing sodium hydroxide or similar chemicals with the toilet water when flushed.
Chemical toilets are often used on construction sites and at outdoor gatherings such as music festivals.
